This is the tale of three knights and a boy who travel east in search of a horrid and hideous beast. Is it the boy who finally succeeds in outwitting this dragon? Young readers will enjoy finding out.

Nota de la solapa

[center over text; keep flush left]"We're three fearless knights!
We're strong, wise, and brave!
It's danger we seek-
it's adventure we crave!
That dragon had better
beware and behave.
We're three fearless knights!
Hoorah!"

With amusing rhythm, repetition, and alliteration, author Eric Ode introduces the most unlikely band ever to have been knighted along with an endearing young boy who just might save them all.
Simon the Wise, Bogsworth the Strong, and Randolph the Brave set off, determined to vanquish the horrid old dragon that has been munching on townsfolk for lunch. Small Saul tags along with his old mandolin to carry their things. He strums as they walk, providing a marching beat for their thrilling adventure. Over valley and dale, across rivers and mountains, and through the darkest of forests the intrepid heroes journey. Saul adds his small voice of reason to the gang, but will the blustering knights listen-and most important, will they defeat the hideous dragon?
Ode's engaging poem is well matched with Jim Harris's colorful and humorous illustrations, the perfect combination for a knightly adventure. This is the second collaboration from this talented team.
